“Aggressive Attrition” as practiced by the Russians for the last 18 months is about to pay off big time.
Uke rail is 90% electric. Couple of nights ago the electric distribution system was attacked. The Russians have destroy ALL non nuclear Uke power generation. It’s from nuclear or it’s brought from Hungary and distributed. The Ukes will tell you 50% of the country is without power. True, but the substations in the Kursk Pocket area, 100% destroyed. No rail in, none out. Also, the road network is horrible.
You are absolutely right. You’ve got the concept perfectly. Why do you think the Russians chose Bum F, rural Kursk? It’s, for the most part, unimproved and uninhabited. Good job!
Um no. Thats not what I said.
You said Russia is brilliant for letting the Ukes in.
I say it was stupid if true (isnt)
Does that clear it up?
👍
F’n Brilliant!! Get this, our rainbow politician generals in the Pentagon think they can out strategize these guys!!! The idiots think they’re doing now!!’
Wrong!!!! Not difficult at all to defend. The Russians LET them in. It is the absolute best killing ground for the ambushes going on as we speak. Get it now?
Say all the narrative stooges.
And not one of those men dying for Kiev has the right to vote before they die.
Russia has been very deliberate and they are executing a warplan that was laid out thru the end of 2026. It has been a continuous process.
It takes Russia year to oroduce a corps sized unit of 500,000 with equipment.
They are 60% towards 4 corps.
As the men come on line, and the current destruction of the AFU is achieved using FABs, missiles, artillery and now lots of drones, Russia will take the land.
Had you read anything from the Russian govt they have stated they would not take land until Uke reserves were depleated.
Kursk only served to expedite natters.
If it is Russia capturing lots of land, you are witnessing the beginning of a massive defeat and withdrawl by Ukraine.
Agree to disagree.
But Russia better hurry up and snatch all the land they want cause Trump is going to end the war in 24 hrs
1. The statement "Kyiv regime" - a regime is an authoritarian regime. Kyiv's government is far from that
2. "is destroying its best forces" - this, along with "exhausting themselves" - may be the case, but we need to wait and see
3. Who exactly is this "Alexander Merkouris"? He is incorrectly put in the title as "Mercuris", then that is changed in the article, but more pertinently, there is zero information WHO is this Alexander M - and why exactly he is an "expert" and an "expert" at what exactly?
“The same thing will happen to the troops in the pocket when the Russians get around to collapsing it.”
We need to wait and see what actually does transpire.
Your allusion to “Last summer the Ukes made a very similar type incursion towards Belgorod.” is not correct as it was not “similar”.
On May 22, 2023 two Russian rebel groups advanced towards Belgorod - with about maximum 500 fighters and 4 armored vehicles.
The current Special Operation for liberation of Kursk is more in the range of 10,000 soldiers and 600 armored vehicles.
The size of the soldiers involved in the Special Military Operations for liberation of Kursk (SMOLK) is far larger and they are soldiers. They are also backed by logistics as well as air support.
This is not “similar” - but substantially different - 2023 was clearly raids with no logistics, while 2024’s SMOLK is not a raid.
Hardspunned - you refuse to acknowledge that Russia has shown that it is not trustworthy.
There is ONLY one thing that stops this RUSSIAN destruction of Ukraine and it's people - no RUSSIA in Ukraine. you know that. To make the Russians stop, they need to be defeated or they need to pull out.
The Russians are not going to head west now after having being crushed.
All that bull about "NATO in Ukraine" is bull - Ukraine and Georgia requested to join NATO in 2008 and were refused - and what happened? Putin invaded Georgia SIX WEEKS LATER - precisely because Georgia was not in NATO.
That's an advertisement for NATO - if you aren't a memeber of NATO, then Putin will invade - which is why Finland and Sweden hastened to join in 2024.
It’s might not be too late to save us all from the DC gang you ride with. Share this ad!

The Russians lost face, no matter what. A country that was dismissed by Moscow as :illegitimate”, not only has fought off the Muscowite horde for 2.5 years, but has actually advanced INTO Muscowite territory.
NATO isn't and hasn't any plans for "occuplying" West Ukraine or any part of Ukraine
Jumper I think Ukriane has lost 850,000 KIA.
Ok, you're going out of the realm of Putin propaganda to Putin fantasies alongside him riding a bear bear-backed (ha ha) to battle
Even the most pessimistic sources say 444,000 -- you're doubling that. Did you get that straight from the St. Petersburg propaganda mills?
Napoleon was first pals with Tsar Alexander. Only when Napoleon insisted on the embargo of the UK did Alex fall out - and that too purely economically.
Napoleon's invasion was aimed at telling Alex that he was a naughty boy
The Nazi invasion was purely to conquer farming land - that was clearly stated in the Mein Kampf
correspondingly the goals of both invasions was completely different
As regards Nordstrom - we don’t “know” anything more than that it was blown up. There is still too much murkiness to use the word “know” imho
Ukraine is in the final death throw’s, and now the Kursk salient is being picked clean by the wolves and vultures...
Every single country that signed an individual security agreement with Ukraine (or the illegimate Dictator Zelinski), pledged to support NATO in Ukraine.
The internet is almost forever, but it hasn’t been that long since all the flurry of media activity, in fact maybe the west waited until after May 20th, to sign those security agreements, but after that date in 2023. Everyone saw the maps with each EU Nation’s area of operations.
However, Russia has maintained their slow viper like grip on Ukraine, slowly killing the AFU while keeping civilian deaths if a minimum. There has been no NATO styled bombing campaigns like in the former Yugoslavia with a 90 day blitz that destroyed those cities - which would have triggered possible NATO intervention. The patience in dealing with an ever escalating west, from no tanks, to no missiles, to no F16s, to no Russian invasion, and the cluster munitions, my gawd have the Russians endured the Boris Johnson, Biden Admin, Merkel/Sgt Schultz, Macron, and little Castro regimes (the ones who have lied to the public and the world at every turn as they tighten their facist grip on every country they refuse to be voted out).
The patience of the Russians have outlasted the shortsigtedness of the the West who used Switf and Sanctions to force the world to build Bric by Bric a new alternative non-sanction trading bloc free of the LGBTQXX Western Marxism. As the West has cut every legal and diplomatic corner they burned bridges with the rest of the world one country at at time, and now the West has sanctioned itself off from the Brics. The West at the same time exhaused its military capacity, which was predicated upon a 10-year buildup in Ukraine - whose forces were double Russia’s at the onset of the war.
Freaking Poland I save for last. Those who are in lock step with the Biden led destruction of the diplomatic, economic and former world order have put the world at risk of WWIII. Their stupid flyzones over Ukraine - bluster and bluff. The BS is so deep the citizens of every country under the facism of the EU and NATO Jackboots (since Yugoslavia) are trapped in the West system.
